Why would a candidate want RFK to speak at their event a week before the election? Was Vivek Ramaswami not available?

RFK: "There's five hundred million Arabs in the world. And yet they don't produce science. They don't win the Nobel Prize. They don't win the Fields Prize. They don't win the Wolf Prize. They don't produce literature."

Propaganda and the refusal to believe that propaganda works.

boy it sure seems like the main threat to democracy everywhere across the globe is right wing media and certain social media companies

These folks never stop working to better the lives of the American people.

Pete Hegseth is reportedly angling for Sen. Marsha Blackburn (R-Tenn.) -- who's about to become Tennessee's next governor -- to appoint him to her Senate seat so he can avoid potential impeachment, according to Puck. www.huffpost.com/entry/pete-h...

Put this under nature of the problem. From an axios piece by Jim Vendehei about the growing multiple risks of cascading crises. You’d say the same about Biden? Not politics? lol

The Ethicist | As part of a feud with my neighbor, I reported her Guatamalan gardener to ICE. I've since learned they shipped him to Central African Republic—not what I'd intended. Given my anguish, can I now claim my Pomeranian as an emotional support dog that can sit with me in First Class?

Nobody's shocked that Jason Miller is the one posting Bolsonaro's refusal to concede. Trumpworld isn't just watching Brazil, they're coordinating. Same playbook, same people, different country. The authoritarian network is global, and it's poison.

This is the bullshit that's going to ruin us. Nonsensical assumptions by media about what REAL AMERICANS think and care about, designed to make Dems act like humorless prigs. This was not an insult to Liberace or his fans. He was in show business! It's ok for him! This is about the White House FFS

Trump: While oil prices are temporarily high, our oil and gas industry is making hundreds of billions of dollars. My people said, "please don't mention that, sir."

ICE is an ideologically-driven jobs program for men willing to engage in violence on behalf of their authoritarian employer and it would help to view them as a state-sponsored paramilitary militia. And that's probably something to keep in mind as the economy is being imploded.

In 2020, Jared Kushner was senior advisor to the president of the United States, a full-time employee of the United States government, and was subject to numerous disclosure requirements and ethical restrictions under the Ethics in Government Act of 1978.

This fake Christian grifter funnels off over $700,000 from just *one* of his many "charities." And he pays no taxes--because he's a "Christian" who doesn't delve into politics. TAX THE CHURCHES.

Saying the polls are fake a necessary step to insisting the election results are fake

Kevin Collier @kevincollier.bsky.social

In any other admin, this would probably be the most outrageous official statement ever made by a sitting FCC director: Strongly implying that the government forbids broadcast networks from reporting on the president's falling poll numbers. (Sorry to paste from twitter but that's where he posts.)

If we tax Elon Musk and his fellow billionaires appropriately, every child in America can have healthcare, education, and a well funded social safety net instead of some racist billionaire’s pathetic pr stunt

Elon Musk has said he will give every child in America a stake in SpaceX, his $2 trillion aerospace and artificial intelligence company, as tech firms face intensifying scrutiny over their impact on society. https://cnn.it/4yWTjTJ

If you would try to win by abandoning trans people (or any targeted group) you can save this “we need to win” talk; there is no “we.” I am about solidarity, and you have chosen anti-solidarity. You are not any “we” I recognize. You are the enemy I’m trying to defeat. Beating you is how my “we” wins.

It's normal within the Repub party to not know or care about the topic at hand, so it's seems suspect when someone does know what they'retalking about. Several R candidates this cycle have bragged that they will do whatever Trump tells them to do.

Yikes. An embarrassing moment for Sen. Dan Sullivan. Sullivan falsely accuses Mary Peltola of getting debate questions beforehand because she is doing a better job than him. Peltola then drops the hammer: “I’m prepared!”

There is approximately a 100% chance that Hannity and Trump talked about this beforehand; they talk all the time. I'm guessing Trump said "Give her a hard time, let's see if she can take the heat." And the answer was...no!

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com

Wow -- Hannity is moving in for the kill: "Why not just say 'I went to Pepperdine Law School and then took a different career path'? Why get into this long drawn-out thing about the difference between a lawyer and an attorney?"

The worst sign that it will get worse is that he's trying this before the midterms, because everything will get worse after. But so will the pushback.

I hate making predictions, but I believe things will only get worse for Ukraine when it comes to its relationship with the United States. Trump’s deal with Putin on russian diesel fuel is just a testing ground for what comes next. He is testing how far he can go.

Well, it’s a quick take, and no doubt data will come in, but it sure looks like based on today’s evidence that a lot of pro-Trump and pro-AfD bot work depends directly on Russian data centers.

My god. A Virginia data center ran backup diesel generators full blast for 24 hours, creating a giant cloud of toxic smoke that choked its human neighbors. The government claimed there was nothing they could do.

Call it what it is: a pay-for-access grift. The top 185 Trump coin holders get a costly dinner, the top four get a gold watch, and buyers have lost an estimated $4.7 billion while Trump banks $635 million. The most corrupt meme coin dinner in history. #CostOfTrumpsCorruption
